She was also seeking a secure future for herself.


    Once Kendra had be acquainted with Jacob, she discussed it with Shelia, stressing that she needed to go all out to win his affection and make him fall head over heels for her.


    Only then could she hope to marry into the Perry family!


    This time, Shelia took matters into her own hands when dealing with Lindsey.


    However, she ended up making a decision that backfired.


    As a result, Shelia didn’t dare to inform her mother that Jacob had been giving her the cold shoulder for several days.


    “I’m alright, Mom.


    ”


    Kendra was a clever woman.


    When she noticed Shelia’s evasive gaze, she sensed that something must have urred.


    She guided Shelia to take a seat on the sofa and spoke with a tender tone, “You’re my child.


    How could I not notice that something’s been troubling you?” Share with me what’s been going on?”


    Shelia nestled into Kendra’s embrace, tears flowing as she poured out the story.


    But she decided to not reveal she was the one who tried to harm Lindsey at the very beginning.


    Instead, she exined that Lindsey had been making things difficult for her, spreading false usations in front of Spencer, which caused his resentment towards her.


    She also shared with Kendra that there was something unusual about Lindsey’spanion.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .

    Kendra clenched her teeth in anger upon hearing Shelia’s words.


    “Our main focus now is to secure your ce in Jacob’s heart.


    Remember, don’t getid by him.


    It’s your most valuable asset in winning Jacob.


    Until you tie the knot, don’t let him easily win you over.


    ” Kendra pushed down the rising hatred within her and calmly instructed Shelia, “When ites to Lindsey, there will be ample chances to handle her in the future!”


    Shelia nodded inpliance while nestled in Kendra’s embrace, though a pang of guilt still worried her.


    When she was in college, she had a hidden romantic fling.


    The guy, older than her by a few years, had approached her at a bar, falsely iming to be well-off.


    They ended up being intimate on the very first night they met.


    Their brief rtionship revealed his true nature as a pauper.


    Shelia ended things quickly


    .


    Though he lost interest in her, he exploited her wealthy background to extort money, a humiliation Shelia never disclosed.


    It was such a shameful experience that Shelia had never confided in anyone.


    Until now, Kendra continued to believe that her beloved daughter was a pure and dutiful youngdy.


    Following Kendra’s guidance, Shelia sent a message to Jacob.


    “Mr.


    Perry, remember when you said you wanted me? Well, tonight at eight o’clock, I’ll be waiting for you in Room 3102 at the Morcastle Hotel.


    ”


    Jacob showed up that evening as anticipated.


    “Mr.


    Perry, you have been distanttely.


    What is the reason? Have your feelings changed?” Seated on the hotel bed, Shelia felt so heartbroken that her vision blurred with tears.


    Jacob had kept away only due to his brother’s insistence.


    Seeing her vulnerable state, he felt a twinge ofpassion.


    “If only I hadn’t been so determined to handle Lindsey, we wouldn’t be in this mess with Vitality Group, and my brother wouldn’t have given me such a harsh scolding.


    He’s forbidden me from seeing you, and I’m at a loss for what to do.


    ”


    Shelia, wiping away tears, said, “Lindsey hurt me badly.


    I just wanted to teach her a lesson.


    Little did I know she had powerful support and even you have to be cautious around her.
